Evaluate error function for Mixture Density Network.

<p><h2>
Description
</h2>

<CODE>e = mdnerr(net, x, t)</CODE> takes a mixture density network data
structure <CODE>net</CODE>, a matrix <CODE>x</CODE> of input vectors and a matrix
<CODE>t</CODE> of target vectors, and evaluates the error function
<CODE>e</CODE>. The error function is the negative log likelihood of the
target data under the conditional density given by the mixture model
parameterised by the MLP.  Each row of <CODE>x</CODE> corresponds to one
input vector and each row of <CODE>t</CODE> corresponds to one target vector.
